Jest Saves a Leg.
It is seldom that a hostipal sur
geon is at a loss to answer patients, but
one of the best known operators in
this city was completely taken aback
recently, says the Philadelphia Press.
The patient, with a leg so badly
hurt that amputation had been decid

surgeon because of the peculiarity of
the complaint. He brought a couple
of surgical friends into the ward to
see the case, and, as he approachea

"Well how are-you today?"
Like a flash the patient answered:
", I'm sick abed," and the sur
geon vowed that the knife should not
be used the next day, as intended.
Best of all he saved the merry young
man's leg.
